Lori & Ripper! I am so truly sorry to hear of your Dads passing. I had no idea about your Mom either. I remember spending MANY fun days at your Mom & Dads when we were younger. I send my prayers to you both and the family, for strength and guidance through this time. He was and always will be one of my favorite teachers! Love you both!!!
